Pumping Solutions' Timeline

1999

Company Founded

David Thorley, founder of Pumping Solutions, has been working in the industry from the age of 16 and has a real passion for what he does. In 1999, with a wealth of experience behind him, he set up the business with his wife, Sharon, targeting commercial sector initially, before growing into the domestic sector after a couple of years.
